The training offered by OMTI meets the requirements of Mine Safety and Health Administration to keep mining operations in compliance with MSHA regulations. Because of a production fee paid by State permitted mine operators, no tuition is required.
OMTI will continue to help any newly permitted mining operation to get in compliance with any state or federal training regulations. If you would like to attend or send an employee, please call at the number noted above. Our training schedule is posted on the Oklahoma Dept. of Mines website: www.mines.state.ok.us

TRAINING OFFERED IN OKC and TISHOMINGO!!!
In an attempt to be even more responsive to the mining industry, we are offering training classes *monthly in Oklahoma City and once a quarter in Tishomingo. The classes in OKC will be conducted at the Francis Tuttle Vo-Tech at 7301 W. Reno Ave., and the classes in Tishomingo will be held at Murray State College – One Murray Drive in Building 14. By offering these multiple locations, we feel that mining companies in all parts of the state can more easily attend the required training. The Annual Refresher Class that we teach fulfills the requirements for MSHA, as well as the Oklahoma State Supervisor Refresher. If you are interested in attending or sending your employees, please register by calling OMTI at 918/465-1872 or 918/465-1799.
FATALITIES YEAR-TO-DATE
Total: 4 (as of 3/10/10)
Coal: 2 M/NM: 2
Two of the four fatalities were classified as Powered Haulage. Supervisor, safety directors, and instructors should stress the importance of safe operating procedures for everyone, especially operators of heavy equipment. Accidents can occur at any time and we can never be too careful when working on or around mining equipment.
The total number of fatalities in the mining industry for 2009 was 35, 18 for coal and 17 for metal/nonmetal.
NO TOBACCO POLICY
This may be redundant, but we have been warned again by Francis Tuttle Vo-Tech in Oklahoma City and Murray State College in Tishomingo that a very strict no-tobacco policy is enforced. It includes smoking and any kind of tobacco anywhere on campus, including the parking lots. If we do not follow their rules, we will not be able to continue using their facilities.
CLASS SCHEDULES
Unless OMTI tells you otherwise, all classes that we teach will begin at 8:00 a.m. Recently, we have had a lot of students come in 15 to 45 minutes late. This disturbs other students as well as the instructor and if the student is not in class before 8:15 a.m., he/she will be asked to reschedule.
BLASTING CLASSES
OMTI offers initial Blasting Certification classes several times a year and Blasting Refresher classes monthly. Please remember to bring a notepad and calculator to class. If you have any questions about registering or requirements for taking the classes, please call OMTI.
George Gomez, our Bi-Lingual Training Instructor has submitted his resignation. George will be leaving OMTI on April 1 to pursue other endeavors. His cheerful attitude and enthusiasm he brings to his classes will be missed not only by OMTI, but the Oklahoma mines as well. We wish George and his family Good Luck!
